We retrospectively reviewed hospitalizations from the pediatric health information system from January 2016 to November 2024. Among 357,031 unique pediatric patients with CHD (\u2264\u200921\u00a0years), 2108 patients (0.5%) were hospitalized for IE. The index hospitalizations during which cardiac surgery was performed were included. We aimed to characterize in-hospital outcomes among CHD children undergoing cardiac surgery for IE, with sub-analysis of those who required surgery versus medical therapy. The incidence of IE in CHD was 5.6 cases per 1000. Microorganism coding was unavailable in 41.3%;\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    (24.1%) and\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    (22.3%) were the most common. Stroke occurred in 10.7%. Prosthetic valve endocarditis was present in 9.4%. Overall, 30% of patients required cardiac surgery, most commonly pulmonary valve or conduit procedures (36.6%) and tricuspid valve surgery (16.7%). Two-valve surgery was performed in 13.3%. In-hospital mortality was comparable between surgical and medical patients (10.1% vs 9.6%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.7). Permanent pacemaker implantation was more common after surgery (6.6% vs 2.2%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Length of hospital stay and hospitalization costs were higher in the surgical group. On multivariable analysis, older age, heart failure, stroke, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) were associated with in-hospital mortality. IE in children with CHD remains associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. In-hospital mortality remains high despite cardiac surgery. Older age, heart failure, stroke, and ECMO requirement are independent factors of in-hospital mortality.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-025-04037-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]],"date-time":"2025-09-26T18:23:08Z","timestamp":1758910988000},"page":"2607-2614","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["In-hospital Outcomes of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Admissions for Acute Infective Endocarditis in Congenital Heart Disease"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Mohamed F.","family":"Elsisy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tammy","family":"Ruth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garrett","family":"Coyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel E.","family":"Dulek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Parra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"4037_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ahj.2019.05.014","volume":"215","author":"TJ Cahill","year":"2019","unstructured":"Cahill TJ et al (2019) Contemporary epidemiology of infective endocarditis in patients with congenital heart disease: a UK prospective study.
